GlobeIn Artisan Box June 2017 “Al Fresco” Box Review & Coupon Code

June 2017 GlobeIn review time! — This month subscribers were able to choose from two different themes — “Al Fresco” or “Refresh”. I received both for review, but will be revealing “Al Fresco” first.

Let’s see what’s inside the June 2017 “Al Fresco” GlobeIn box!

As always, everything was shipped in the signature green & white GlobeIn box.

A peek inside!

A small info booklet featured full color photos and background information on all of the products included in the box, as well as the artisans who created them.

A “serape” is a traditional woven blanket that can also double as a cozy wrap or shawl. This gorgeous hand-woven piece was made by Mexican artisans employed by Hammock Boutique, a collective that sources raw weaving materials and delivers them free of charge to their workers’ homes where the blankets are created. I absolutely love the pretty pastel colors and how surprisingly soft this piece is. — It’s also a good size at 60 x 44 inches. 🙂

When I first pulled this out of the box, I thought it was made of plastic and was a little underwhelmed. After reading the info booklet however, I discovered it was actually enamel-coated stainless steel. Nice! Measuring 12 inches in diameter, this hand-painted platter is lightweight and perfect for taking along on a picnic. It was made by artisans who work for Noah’s Ark, a fair trade collective in India that invests profits in the social and economic development of its workers.

GlobeIn often sends hand-woven palm leaf baskets in various shapes and sizes. This month, subscribers received something a little different — a hand-woven utensil holder! A unique, handy way to transport your picnic utensils without worrying about losing them amongst your other picnic gear.

A sweet, crunchy snack made with hand selected Colombian plantains. These are cooked in sustainable, non-hydrogenated palm oil and are both gluten-free & vegan friendly. Yum!

What a fun, summery collection from GlobeIn! I love all the pretty pastel colors featured here and the serape is such a great piece. Perfect for summer picnics or trips to the beach! The total retail value of all the items in June’s “Al Fresco” box was an impressive $75! 😀 — Remember, for a limited time you can save $10 on your first monthwith any 3-month or longer subscription with coupon code “WELCOME“.

Such a great box to welcome in the summer season! The serape alone was worth the cost of the monthly subscription price. 🙂
